Abstract

In recent years, many tools have been developed in the areas of programming techniques, design methodology, development processes, and test strategies. All of these are aimed at producing a quality product with a minimum cost. Together with emergence of these tools, there is a recognition of the problem of how to effectively implement them into a total systems development environment. One of the factors to a successful development is the ability to exercise proper control over the various development processes. We will first establish the objectives for software quality control. Then, descriptions of the terminologies defining the various development processes will be presented in order to provide a common background. A basic philosophy of the entire development procedure and the notion of Continuous Integration will be presented. The introduction of quality control into this procedure will be discussed. Finally, some justification for such an approach will be shown.
